Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Fans of LeVar Burton have been doing everything in their power to get him to guest host Jeopardy, and it worked. Today, the game show announced that he will be in the final group of guest hosts this season, along with George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts, David Faber, and Joe Buck.

“THANK YOU… to all y’all for your passionate support,” Burton wrote. “I am overjoyed, excited, and eager to be guest-hosting Jeopardy!, and will do my utmost best to live up to your faith you have in me. YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE! Go ahead and take my word for it, this time.”

Mike Richards, Executive Producer of Jeopardy, confirmed they made the difference. “Our passionate fans are telling us what they like, and we are listening,” he said. “All of the guest hosts have brought individualism, energy and an authentic love of our show to each of their episodes. We look forward to sharing the rest of the season with our viewers.”

Except for the Reading Rainbow host, I think the rest of the names are a yawn. I don’t know how people stay awake when they watch Good Morning America. That show is as exciting as watching my coffee cool down so I can drink it without burning my tongue.

I wish they would’ve gotten Neil DeGrasse Tyson to audition to be a permanent host. I think he would have been great. He’s smart and funny, unlike Stephanopoulozzzzz.

Anderson Cooper is hosting Jeopardy this week, and he already has a fan. That fan is his 11-month-old son.

“Wyatt has never seen me on tv before, and he likely won’t for a long while, but apparently he caught a bit of me on @Jeopardy,” he wrote. “It was a dream come true to be guest hosting, and to pay tribute to #AlexTrebek and raise money for @hashaiti.”

Now, can we talk about how cute it is that the toddler is watching his dad on TV like that? I can’t say I blame his dad for not wanting his son to watch him on CNN. The longer kids can go without knowing about hard news, the happier they will be.

Jeopardy wanted to know how well the contestants know the villains in Batman, and together they knew every answer. I knew three out of the five. How many did you know?

This is the first clip I have watched of Aaron Rodgers hosting Jeopardy. All I will say is that he has a voice playing football. I couldn’t listen to him on a nightly basis, could you?

That was a pretty, pretty, pretty good impression, @AaronRodgers12. #CurbYourEnthusiasm pic.twitter.com/XKNDEkKrYx

Superfan Aaron Rodgers is trying out as the host of Jeopardy. Tonight was his first night of the audition.

The game show producers asked him to read, “He may not love being bald but he created & stars in a show that debuted on HBO in 2000. So that’s pretty, pretty good.” We all know that answer is Larry David. However, we would not know that by the football player’s impression of the actor. That was really bad. And not in a bad way that the Curb Your Enthusiasm star would like it.

Sting is so special that he not only got his own category on Jeopardy, he also got to present it.

Too bad they didn’t give him tougher answers to give because I got all of those right. Do you know how rare that is?

How did you do?
